Quoting: PublicNuisanceI'm not understanding the comment. Are you saying that Epic should only make the Unreal engine FOSS if the FOSS market were able to compete ? If so what does that even mean ?

how can i say it?
we're always assuming that the open source development model is better at everything, well, i dont doubt that an product that earn 1 million/month of dolars and it is open source, will be MUCH better than an proprietary software earning the same money.

the issue is, its much harder to make that ammount of money in the open source development model.
open source being less profitable is a big reason for then to not change their business model, and the other is that the ammount of money this model produces is what made those softwares possible to begin with.
i can count the days i have waited for make human to evolve, they started from scratch and surpassed it a lot in an shorter ammount of time.
why should they change their business model?

TL:DR
if we need epic to relase their code to have something that good as open source, that dont prove the point that we arent capable of doing it ourselves?
and if we are capable of doing it, why should they?

Quoting: minkiuI know it's not fully Foss but you can see the code on github, in case you didn't know.

the licence is so restrictive, that its proprietary for all intents and purposes.
hell, its so restrictive that i dont doubt you can be sued for reading it and taking inspiration from it, i bet epic relase it so they can sue more people.
jokes aside, its REALLY restrictive.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceNice to see Linux improvements but the one improvement I wanted was it released as FOSS which I knew wouldn't happen.

if the foss comunity was not able to compete, i dont see why they should.

Quoting: fenglengshun

Quoting: elmapulcheat engine...

Well, the alternative is gameconqueror (and I guess the in-development PINCE) but both of those aren't on Flatpak yet...

I wonder how the Cheat Engine plugin works. Maybe it automatically installs cheat engine to the game's compat prefix and then starts it?

what this program do? allow you to cheat in online games? :huh:

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelija

Quoting: eldakingBut I must say I find these expensive devices kind of a dead end. At that price point you are more or less competing with actual gaming PCs

I know, right? Same here. And yet, we have seen one kickstarter after another succeed (or indiegogo), and get funded in record time: AYA Neo, OneXPlayer, GPD Win, whatever, all more expensive.

Another thing that it's a serious question from me and I still don't get is: what is this device offering that is so important, that a small laptop cannot? What is the use case?

we see a lot of sucessful kickstarters because there are a few people who are willing to pay for it, but if you take a look at the number of people who actually funded it, its not even close to the ammount of people who buy an nintendo, sony or microsoft console.
a few thousands vs tens of milions.

as for what they are offereing, have you ever hold an portable console or even an controller on your hand? they arent even comparable, that is like comparing using an phone to make an call to bringing your laptop to the streets and holding then next to your ear to make an call.
